Experts agree that one of the key factors of a company success is stock of active knowledge of its employees.  But there is no agreement on how to arrange the knowledge management at an enterprise. The variety of question formulations and methodical issues makes the problem even more complex.

An important question is the arrangement of qualification offers. The relation between expenses and profitability is an important aspect for the best exploitation of available reserves.

A simple comparison of the seminar fees is not enough for evaluation of the actual expenses for staff development.  As a rule, an offer at the smallest price is not always the cheapest one. Apart from the direct cost of the seminars it is time expenditures and flexibility, which are to be taken into account.  In case of time expenditures we should take into account not only personnel costs, but also the added value, which would normally be created within this time. It usually increases, if some other employees also contribute to the results of the work.

But the flexibility, which is the temporal availability of trainings, is also a vital aspect. A training course with obligatory personal presence of participants may not be the best variant from the employer’s point of view.
